Dear reb Yid, if it wouldn't be so serious, i would laugh. jealous of what exactly? I mean, I have everything I need, baruch haShem (even though chaza"l tell us in yevomos, that me she eyn lo isha, doesnt have anything good, but stil.) but what did YOU see to be jealous of (or about? who knows which one is better..)?
TMC. I once read about a certain "harav rabeinu Yoel baal shem". i thought to myself (with tears in eyes, not sure why they came) "wow..how can a simple Yid grow, that he merits the name baal Shem!". just think about it!
so tell me. HOW DO YOU WANT TO GROW, IF NOT LIKE THIS??
-al yedey tefilla? do you really think, you can have kavonas, that bring you so high?
-al yedey toyra? well in previous generations it was on a much higher level, pashtus we wont get that either. (doesnt mean we should learn..)
-al yedey maasim toyvim? well. good. but thats not always avaible.
ma nish'ar??? SAY NO TO YOUR YETZER. if we fight against him, its (at least in my humble opinion) a greater fight, than that of the doros hakadmonim. people used to be more modest. they didnt have any magazines. they didnt have any internet with so much shmutz soo near and available. But we! we are surrounded from all directions! no step without prizus.
Nu, chabibi, wanna stayg higher than the ceiling?
